Happy Tax Day everyone :\
My first post here, and of course I'm looking for help :)
I recently acquired a 70 Watt Epilog Legend 32 mfg'd in 2001. I've been playing with numerous projects, but have had trouble with cutting chipboard (like a thin, low density fiberboard my wife would like to cut scrapbook stuff from). Despite changing cutting frequencies widely, I get a stuttering perforation effect on the backside of the workpiece wherever the laser path speed is highest. This more or less ruins the job, since there is not complete detachment. If I decrease the speed, I'm getting burning. The perforations look the same no matter what frequency I set, which concerns me.
It may be unrelated to this issue, but the focus lens is slightly 'milky' in appearance, though not visibly scratched or blemished. Is this a definite cause for replacement?
